Lunch Special: €11 for One Starter & One 10" Pizza OR €17 for Two Starters & One 12" Pizza (value up to €34.22)

Wed, 22 May 2013 00:00:00 +0100

I woke up this morning and fumbled about for my phone to switch my alarm off. A task made incredibly difficult due to the pizza sauce smeared all over my iPhone screen. Then I remembered last night's pizza and drifted off into a beautiful dream where I was a pizza. It was great but then I was late for work and that wasn't so great. But pizza. Oh pizza!

€11 (normally €22.15) for one starter and one 10" pizza from Bits and Pizzas, Dun Laoghaire.
€17 (normally €34.22) for two starters and one 12" pizza.

Bits and Pizzas serve up the kind of pizza that you'll love so much you'll probably end up taking slices home with you. Then you'll eat them in bed just before falling into a deeply satisfying sleep and when you wake up in the morning you'll have so many pizza-based regrets.

But these regrets will turn into a desire for more pizza. See, it's like the bad boy of the food world. Try as you may to stay away you always go back for more.

But at Bits and Pizzas these bad boys can be really good guys because they have gluten-free and thin and crispy low-calorie choices.

The pizzas are amazing. My absolute favourite is the Cambozola (tomato sauce, mozzarella, blue cheese, walnuts and sun-dried tomatoes) because I've a sophisticated palate but on a Friday night I'm all about the Kentucky (barbecue sauce, mozzarella, chicken pineapple and onion).

Their starters are awesome too. The chicken wings come with a light cucumber mayonnaise which perfectly complements the spicy wings. And the baked garlic mushrooms are really special.

I think I've said enough. I'm starting to get hungry. I'm off to get all the coupons before you beat me to it.
